Writing a Children's Book using AI: Step-by-Step Guide 

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it helped!

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks! The art generators are only going to get better from here as well! If you're not familiar I would consider taking a look at Dall E 3 Within chat GPT 4. The way you can generate images talking naturally back and forth with the bot is pretty impressive. Best of luck with your projects!

So glad you found value in the video! And I really appreciate the compliment as I do somewhat struggle with the editing..😅 Thank you!

Can AI edit a story I have already created?

You're welcome! Glad you Enjoyed the video!

So glad you are finding value in the video & thank you!

Thanks!

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment!

WOW! Thank you so much for the support and encouragement! Hmm 🤔 a step by step downloadable PDF for people who would like to follow along,.. that's actually an outstanding idea and I don't believe I've seen any other creators doing something like this. I will be giving this some very serious consideration and thank you again!

Yes please 😂😅

You're most welcome!

Thank you for the comment and good luck with your new project!

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the content!

Wow thank you! You are amazing and I hope you have Great Success!

Thanks so much!, if I continue on this path I will have to give you credit with myself, because you have helped me achieve success!

Thank you and best of luck with your new book!

There are thousands of illustrators in the world. If the ones you normally hire are unreliable, you can search for others. Keep in mind that both of you should've signed a contract that outlines everything to keep everyone on track.

Well they also charge alot of money ai is saving on money and on the outline contract

@@cute2neko A will never compete in this market, this dude did it for the clicks. It never sold a copy and was removed eventually. If you watched the video and believed it, then you are also on the path to create ugly, dumb, submediocre crap books. People like cannot and never will comprehend what magic goes into creating a pleasant and sellable picture book. Let me save you years, maybe decades: get a job!

I have had the seem experience on getting the art done for my book (I'm a writer, not a illustrator). They're off on vacation, got another job, etc... taking extension after extension to complete.

I'll give it some thought thank you for the comment!

Yeees please

Absolutely! But honestly never thought I was talented enough... But now with the help of these powerful writing tools I've been able to overcome any kind of writer's block and creative walls.. they are extremely helpful in brainstorming and overcoming writer's block. Thank you for the question and Be Blessed!

@AImoney11 Writers block? You copied someone else's idea, asked AI to write a whole book for you, and barely did the artwork. Usually people go out and get inspired. Your inspiration is "who's work can I copy?"

@@AImoney11 I doubt you even know how to use your imagination. Call of Duty brain.

People don’t have that type of imagination anymore

The end product in this video genuinely looks soulless. Children’s books are a big part of child development, both in themes and in the artwork. As a child, the writing and artwork in books such as Stephen Cosgrove’s ‘Serendipity Series’ children’s books with fantastic artwork by Robin James. Knowing that children will be receiving soulless, lazy, AI generated books that are only made for the sake of squeezing out an easy profit makes me so sad.

Because the books are small they will generally be fine but upscaling is definitely recommended yes and 300 DPI is the standard minimum resolution for print products.

Thank you for your question and comment and absolutely Yes this will work as a digital download as well!

Glad it was helpful! Here are some helpful tips for writing and illustrating your own children's books as a beginner. Keep the story simple and focused on one main idea or lesson. Children's books need to be clear and not too complex. Use descriptive language that engages the senses and brings the story to life. Pay attention to pacing and flow - short sentences and paragraphs work well. Incorporate repetition, rhymes, and memorable phrases that are fun for children. Make sure the book has a clear beginning, middle, and end. Don't be afraid to lean into humor - children love funny stories. Read existing children's books to study structure, themes, vocabulary level. Thanks and have fun!

It's not foolproof but the best way is to give your main character a name and repeat that name at the beginning of the prompt, this will reference that style. Thanks for the question and good luck!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck with your new publication!

I can, can you tell me more about your story?

Very good question! This is very difficult to do,... My best advice is to give your character a name and begin every prompt with some specific detail about that character, for example: Dad, with blue eyes and green shirt,(situational portion of the prompt). This is your best bet through regular prompting your other option is to train a model in Leonardo by feeding it multiple images of your main character. Hope that helps and good luck!

Is this free chatgpt that's free I was using the one with coins and really no idea to begin with

I took a look at your channel, very nice!

If I could politely recommend some advice on your channel. You have some high quality content, if you can hire an authentic voice over and Expand your channels topics to include more than just comic books. I know the traditional advice is niche down but nowadays,.. well look at my channel. also if possible show how you created the comics

@@AImoney11 thank you , we have the custom GPT .. that do all that ,. images, and then we upload some videos, maybe you can do a tutorial about how to use our GPT?

@@Comic_Book_Creator For collaboration email me at, brbcustom1@gmail.com

It's very difficult to do with Leonardo AI. I actually find it easier to separate the characters as demonstrated in the video then rearrange them in their different scenarios. Thanks!

Glad the video helped you out a bit. That's actually a great idea and I will give it some thought.

I'll be trying to provide downloadable guides for my future videos..

Thank you! And yes, this is definitely a solid business model that is worth the effort. That being said, I have so many projects going that I personally haven't put in the effort necessary to make any substantial sales.

Actually right now I'm experimenting with other AI Art generators and just using Leonardo's base model. Thanks!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! To make your book into an audiobook, you can start by finding a good narrator or even consider narrating it yourself if you have a good speaking voice. Then, you can use Audible to publish and distribute your audiobook. hope that helps!

Thank you glad you enjoyed the video! Yes there is a minimum of 24 Pages on Amazon.

Yes,.. Amazon's publishing process includes a set of questions asking exactly what AI was used in generating your content.

It is possible but somewhat difficult to achieve. Your best bet is to give your walking stick for example a unique name and characteristic, every single time you want to create that character Begin that portion of your prompt with the specific name and characteristic. Hope that helps!

Sorry I've got a little too much on my plate at the moment so not doing gig work. I would suggest checking out fiver for illustrators.

Your Welcome! The premium color just has a gloss and some publishers avoid this with children's books because kids like to draw in the books. Thanks for the question!

Thank you so much for your immediate answer

@@CartoonStoriestv890 No problem.

Here you go, 👉www.selfpublishingtitans.com/ just click on the tools tab on the home page and check out the options there. I'm primarily use, Titans quick view

@@AImoney11thx

Not sure what you're after

Thanks for the question and yes they print fine because they are so small but upscaling never hurts. Thanks again and good luck!

Thank you for the question and GPT and Bard are about the same when it comes to limitations if you need more I would advise going with Claud 2 by anthropic

In Leonardo you need to always give you a characters a name and then learn to use the seed numbers. Hope that helps good luck!

Manuscript just refers to the interior pages of your book,. The format is dependent whether you're creating a paperback, hardback or ebook. If your dimensions are correct you can attempt the upload and preview to see your results. Hope that helps!

Once you get the hang of the prompting and the editing techniques you'll be able to illustrate a short book in just a few days!

Glad you like the video and thank you for the question. Yes I would advise reading the new rules carefully and be completely honest!

@@AImoney11 but if you use AI images and are completely honest, isn’t this going to lead to problems, even when we get our writing down to 100% human?

Thanks again for the question. I hope this doesn't lead to problems down the road But honestly it's hard to say. I believe Amazon is In a predicament having to deal with the heavy influx of low quality AI produced material. It's hard to say how they're going to deal with this problem in the end. But for now all you can do is make sure your content is high quality and be completely earnest.

@@AImoney11 Question, where do we disclose to Amazon that we used Leonardo AI images for our storybook? Thank you so much for making these videos!

@@kalliegbrown During the upload process you will see the questions asking about AI produced content. You must fill these out to proceed. Thanks for the question and good luck!

Thank you for the question! Actually the only paid tool used to create the book in the video was Canva and I pay $12 a month for their app. Although you will eventually want to upgrade to a paid tear in Leonardo AI or Midjourney. But honestly I run several digital products as well as coloring books and children's books and I do it all with a $12 subscription to Leonardo a i and a $12 subscription to Canva. Hope that helps and good luck!

Check out this video here for more on how to keep your characters consistent in different scenarios👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sr8meU_Mc3g.htmlsi=PiJVoK0_qAQAbc52

I wouldn't worry so much about Amazon detecting AI generated content anymore as their rules have evolved. Now it seems they just require that you disclose what artificial intelligence was used and how extensively. Thanks for the question!

Not sure what you're referring to, Add-ons for ?

Yes be sure to answer the questions accurately

You can try using Bing image creator that runs on DALL-E 3, you can get free access, this video here will show you how👉FREE access to DALL- E 3’s Powerful new AI art generator!👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S350NtlXqms.html..... Hope this helps and good luck!

This video will help, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hJzOrb_USdM.html. Thanks for the question.

Hi' you can talk to the AI normally to revise your script then you can edit the text in a doc's.

I would recommend acting like you are uploading and selecting your language options to see if it allows you to proceed

In this case the customer will receive a printed paperback book but this can be converted to an E book and sold as well

Apparently Bard is now Gemini

It's actually not considered a low content book. Amazon's rules are evolving, now they require you to disclose if you use AI in the creation process and to what extent.. I haven't heard any more terminations as of recently. Thank you for the question and good luck!

You are absolutely correct. I created this video before Amazon figured out exactly what they were going to do with AI produced content and we're banning accounts at that time.

Thank you for your question and yes that is absolutely correct! Once someone purchases your book Amazon fulfills the order! They do of course charge for the printing cost which will be deducted from your profits. I hope that helps!

Hello, You can actually begin for free but with the paid tools can speed the process along and provide more capabilities when it comes to editing etc. 100% free to list on Amazon KDP and there's no charge for it to just sit. Once somebody purchases your product Amazon will complete the printing and shipping process. Hope that helps and good luck with your new project!

Yes the reason for this is to be able to keep the page count low. If you select children's books or related categories your page count goes to 72 pages minimum. Ty for the question!

Yep you are absolutely allowed to use these images commercially and no I would advise against the artificial intelligence within the credits of your book. Within Amazon KDP during the upload process you will be Asked whether you used artificial intelligence or not, answer truthfully there and you're all set! Thanks

The best way I've found to maintain consistent characters is by simply naming that character and including some specific characteristics within each prompt.. that being said it's a bit of trial and error, never usually perfect. Remember the first few words of your prompt are more heavily weighted than the rest. Good luck!

No fuss, amazon's rules towards AI generated content have changed. Now they require you to disclose upon publishing what AI it was used in the creation of your book. Just be honest when answering those questions and you should be all set.

It's difficult to do but The most important thing is the prompt. You need the character to have a name and a very concise accurate description including eye color, skin color etcetera without being overcomplicated. And this should always come first before any action changes as the beginning of the prompt holds the most weight. My next video is actually strictly about generating consistent characters so stay tuned for my next release!

You can't edit your text in Chat GPT but you can copy and paste into a doc and edit there.

Yes, absolutely! Thanks for the question.

After doing some research I've had a difficult time finding an alternative for Singapore,.. But you can look into these options, this one for audiobooks only👉www.findawayvoices.com/ and then posably👉www.lulu.com/

Not sure I understand exactly what you mean, if you can elaborate, I'll see what I can do. Thank you much for the comments!

I really don't see how using AI to help you brainstorm and illustrate your ideas is at all dishonest... In my opinion it's a more cost effective option than hiring a ghost writer and an illustrator to achieve the same. Thanks for the comment. Stay safe and be blessed!

Thanks! For the first question you could attempt using some file compression software but these are normally paid and I would fear formatting issues... and for the second, yes, it would be in your best interest to purchase your own ISBN,.. that being said they can be quite pricey.

@@AImoney11 WOW! I appreciate your prompt response.

You are very welcome! And thank you much for the support!

I checked non classifiable so as to keep the page count low. If you classify it then you'll need to have 72 pages in your book. This should have no effect on rank, as my understanding is ranking is a result of title, tags and description.

Actually Amazon's rules concerning AI generated content have evolved and now they include a questionnaire before you post that asks specifically what processes involved AI and what AI was used. I haven't heard of any account suspensions as of lately. Thanks for the question!

Wow sorry to hear that. I've never had the issue but I've seen horror stories dealing with the support. But yeah all you can do is contact support repeatedly until you get some kind of resolution. Ask for another platform there are many big publishers but you'll be paying to list through them and you have to have your own ISBN numbers that are costly , ETSY is unique in that sense.

@@AImoney11 thank you. I've contacted three times now and explained my case. I don't even know how they approved it the first time. I used a pen name and when it got approved, I was so excited and did a search to see how it would look like and couldn't find it. So I searched under the pen name and lo and behold some other seller had the same pen name so I thought ok, let me change. I'm mad because it's their fault to a point. Just like when you want to register a domain name, two can't have the same, they shouldn't permit pen names to match another. Do you think if I keep messaging it'll go anywhere? They replied saying "As per our Terms and Conditions, we reserve the right to terminate your account and Agreement at any time. I’m sorry, but we can’t offer any additional insight or action on this matter. "

@@bookwormsandco I would definitely keep persistently contacting them with your side of issue.. I wish you luck!

Hi..this is actually very difficult to do but i believe the best way in midjourney is to use a seed number. The only other way I know to get reliable results is using Leonardo AI. There you have the option to train your own model by feeding it reference images. Hope that helps and good luck!

@@AImoney11 I tried seeds it works but not all the time, then when I searched I found you talking about Leanardo, hope it will works, would help what a prompt I should use after uploading my reference photo or do you have a video how I can do that ?

@@ahmadmerei7979 No video on the subject 😅. Once you have a trained model you can prompt however you like but I will say the more images you train the model with the better your results will be. Feed it as many images of the subject at all different angles to achieve the best results. Also be sure to crop away anything except your primary. Good luck!

Yep and when you're disclosing what AI was used it is Dall E 3 that runs within GPT

Great question thank you! This is because I was actually unaware that the premium color option for the interior prevented the low page count necessary for this book, This is a way to maintain the low page count while choosing the premium color options.

You should be able to accomplish your goals within Leonardo ai.. Other free options I would recommend are bing's image creator and ideogram.ai. And don't worry about Amazon's AI rules. when you go to post your book it'll ask you what AI you used in the process, and as of now they are allowing AI Content without negative consequence. I hope this helps and good luck with your new book!

@@AImoney11 thank you!

Sorry no classes, only teach on the school of RU-vid!

Thank you much!
